Kabul: Afghan Taliban’s military offensive that started in May 2021 and peaked in August 2021 with the takeover of Kabul also coincided with terrorist attacks in Pakistan, reveals data released by the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Study (PICSS).

The highest number of attacks in a single month in 2021 was recorded in August when 45 strikes were carried out by the militants, the institute said in its report, Dawn News reports.

Despite a one-month ceasefire from November 10 to December 10, the overall number of militant attacks could not drop.

The average number of militant attacks per month in Pakistan rose from 16 in 2020 to 25 in 2021, which was the highest after 2017, the newspaper reported.

PICSS militancy database showed that Balochistan turned out to be the most turbulent province where 170 deaths were recorded in 103 attacks. The highest number of injured were also reported from Balochistan where more than 50pc of the total injured (331) were recorded, the newspaper reported.
